Beach more, worry less—give in to leisure island living
Set on the Canary Island of Tenerife, just off the northwestern coast of Africa, Costa Adeje is a tiny seaside village surrounded by a gaggle of other laid-back beach communities. No matter what time of year you book a Costa Adeje vacation rental, you'll enjoy outdoor adventures in a region known for its massive water parks. If you prefer to cool off in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean, make your way to the town's sandy beaches. Based an hour northeast of town, the snow-covered peaks of Mount Teide offer a dramatic contrast to the beaches of Costa Adeje.
Wet and wild adventures—slipping and sliding into fun
Your Costa Adeje vacation rental places you near a host of family-friendly attractions. Kids and adults of all ages will have loads of fun at Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje, 2 area water parks with a wide array of waterslides and swimming pools. Jungle Park, a popular wild animal park, gives you the chance to come face to face with nature through exhibits and live animal shows. If you're looking for a playground for grown-ups, you're in luck! Casino Playa de las Americas is a bustling waterfront casino that features gaming tables, slot machines, and numerous restaurants.
Splish splash! Make the ocean your home away from home
The sandy beaches of Costa Adeje invite you to enjoy a leisurely afternoon of sunbathing and picnicking. Those looking to expend some energy can try their hand at jet skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, or snorkeling. Area companies also offer popular whale- and dolphin-watching excursions. If you want to slow down for a minute, grab a drink from a beachfront bar or spend the day shopping at Siam Mall, a 2-story complex with more than 70 stores and restaurants. Just 12 minutes away by car, Barranco del Infierno, a gorge filled with hiking trails and magnificent waterfalls, caters to nature buffs.
Live in the sunshine and soak up the rays
No matter what time of year you book your Costa Adeje vacation rental, the odds are high you'll enjoy blue skies and sunshine. The region is dry most of the year, particularly from March through September. December is the wettest month, but even then, Costa Adeje only sees a little over an inch of rain. Winters are mild, bringing daytime highs in the low 70s, while evenings drop to the high 50s. Summers are sandal weather with highs in the mid-80s. The town enjoys comfortable conditions in the spring and fall when temperatures fluctuate between the 80s and 70s.
From the tallest mountains to the deepest waters
The scenery in Costa Adeje looks like something out of a postcard as clear blue waves crash onto sandy shores, and rocky coastlines are dotted with swaying palm trees. The modest peaks of Chayofita Mountain and Guaza Mountain serve as the town's backdrop and hiking trails to both summits offer panoramic views of the watery landscape. And if that isn't majestic enough, make the hour drive to Mount Teide National Park, home to a 12,000-foot volcano, the highest point in Spain. A cable car takes you to the top of the mountain where you can peek inside the crater.
